AMERICAN VETERINARY REVIEW. 
We hail with unfeigned pleasure the advent of a new literary ven¬

certainly arrived when our colleagues on the great and enterprising 
Continent must bestir themselves, and find a means of testifying to their

has our very heartiest good wishes; and we earnestly hope that its in¬

believing, as we do, in the value of healthy competition and generous 
rivalry, not less than in the wide diffusion of useful knowledge, we give 
a warm welcome to this transatlantic bond of fraternity. We allude 
thus lengthy to the American Veterinary Review, in order to testify 
to the high estimation in which we hold it, and to draw the attention of 
Veterinary Surgeons in this country to the valuable addition it makes 
to our scanty literature. It is well worthy of patronage by the Veterin¬ 
ary profession in England as well as in America.— Veterinary Journal.
